League Details

League Length
  • Spring, Summer: 8-weeks

All teams play once a week on the day they select when registering.

Typical Game Times
  • Evening Leagues: 6pm to 8pm

  • Afternoon Leagues: 1pm to 5pm

While our leagues are self-officiated, there is an Event Coordinator onsite to help manage equipment, time and scores. Games consist of two, 40-minute halves with a 10-minute half-time and bookings are typically 1.5 hours long.

5 on 5 - Co-ed

Games are played 5 on 5 with a minimum of two female players required on the field.

5 on 5 - Men's

Games are played 5 on 5 with only male players on the field.

Divisions are based on the experience and skills of a team - not on their competitive behaviour! No matter what skill level you register for, all players are expected to play with a 'fun-first, winning-second' attitude.

If you have any questions about the different skill levels or where to place yourself, just call us!

Recreational

This division is for teams who are newer to the sport, or teams that consist of a mix of experienced and inexperienced players. Some players may still be learning the rules of Flag Football, meaning the flow of the game will not always be natural. If the majority of players are experienced and skilled, then the team should move up to a higher level if available.
